Clark County Family YMCA 
2008 YMCA Strong Communities Campaign 
The YMCA plays an important role in building strong kids, strong families and strong communities. Commitment from donors, volunteers, members and staff, provide hundreds of YMCA program opportunities for deserving youth and families. YMCA programs provide for growth in spirit, mind and body, for all kids and families regardless of ability to pay. One critical YMCA emphasis objective is to provide mission driven programs for 20% of the teen population in Clark County by 2008. Your gifts are earmarked for Clark County youth and families and are exempt from national YMCA support. Investing in youth is a gift that will last a lifetime.

 

This year our Annual Strong Communities Campaign goal is $80,000 providing scholarships and program support.
